Sunday Small Things - Week 8

This week I took great joy in spending time with a dear friend. We wandered through grocery stores and chatted about cooking, food, life, and nonsense. What a gift to have a partner in crime.

What do you do to reconnect with your friends?

Sunday Small Things- Week 6

Once you've been married awhile (9 years this year) what you first found romantic is no more. The greatest thing my fella can do, he did this Saturday. He packs my car for craft shows, helps me set up, and then comes back and does it in reverse!
Bonus points this week for first digging out our driveway from Storm Nemo.

With Valentine's Day romance in the air- what does your sweetie do for you?

Sunday Small Things - Wk 5

This week I took joy in a good deal. I LOVE coupons. And just like they divas on Extreme Couponers I have a binder full of these little slips of paper. My local grocery store had triple coupons this week- my heart sang. Sadly I missed a lot of the super deals because I went on the last day but I still saved my family $88.
Jackson was so excited he passed out :)

How do you save?

Fancy Up a Brown Bag

I've started running sandwich bags with embossing folders through my Cuttlebug. These super cute bags are perfect for stamping and using at craft shows. They would also be fun for gift bags or just a special lunch! Give them a whirl for Valentine's Day to pack your sweetie a treat!

Sunday Small Things Wk 4

I was having so much fun living in the small things this weekend I was late writing about them!
My little family headed up north to visit my parents in the Adirondacks. Being surrounded by the woods, family, and friends are big things that often get pushed aside.
I really enjoyed a casual lunch with an old friend and just sitting around the living room with my parents. If you get 5 minutes to just be in a room with someone for me it's a piece of love you get to have with you the whole week!
Here is literally a snip of my weekend- Jackson's 1st haircut given to him by his hairdresser/Grandma.



I hope your weekend was as full of love as mine!
